Topics I've Started

an idea?

09 November 2010 - 01:44 PM

For the last few years I have been involved in doing charity work for a few different charities. The last one I was with didn't work out after trying to put together a huge benefit show. (I didn't realize it was that hard haha). Anyway, now I have so much time on my hands, and I want to put together a project that could actually work. I was thinking about starting a non profit that sets up local artists (musicians, painters, photographers, actors) with a special needs buddy. They would work on a project together a few times a month. It could be a painting or maybe having them play a song in your band. I was thinking that maybe once or twice a year there could be a showcase of everything that has been put together. The money could go towards supplying the kids with supplies in their medium to help them continue their expression. These kids could be making friendships they wouldn't have been exposed to without this sort of idea and local artists could network and help out their community. I obviously haven't worked out all of the details but I just wanted to see if any one would actually be interested in something like this. My boyfriend is on this site all the time so I thought I would give it a try.

Any thoughts?
